He said the guards should get Rs 9,500 or Rs 10,000 as monthly salary, but were being given Rs 6,000 or Rs 8,000. “I asked if the salary is transferred electronically, then how come this scam? They said they are marked absent on some days and money is deducted from the salaries. I sent a team for inspection and found the allegation true,” he added.
